The Maids
This is what my four bridesmaids will be wearing. I am personally not a fan of plain bridesmaid dresses and I wanted my girls to have both black and ivory in their dress. This goes along great with the vintage feel for the day. The dress is light weight as well which will be perfect for our outdoor ceremony in August. These dresses are from David's Bridal.
Bridesmaid Shoes
For the bridesmaid shoes, each girl was instructed to get a nude/champagne colored heel. They were not required to purchase matching shoes, but they will all be similar to this shoe.

The Flower Girl
Here is a picture of my beautiful flower girl picking out her dress at David's Bridal. The top of the dress is in champagne, to match the maids, and the bottom is ivory so she can match me! The dress is perfect!
The Dress
This is it! Its made by Allure bridals number 8701. It is all lace to go along with my vintage theme, fitted to below the hips, and flares out into a beautiful wedding dress shape. The only part that is not lace is by the chest which is made of taffeta (which is also the lining of the dress) and has a beautiful swarovski brooch right in the center. This was the third dress I tried on.. and continued to try on about 30 more.. but I went right back to this once I knew there was nothing better out there for me. I will not be wearing a necklace with this dress so I plan on wearing large chandelier earrings and a large sparkling bracelet. I love SPARKLE!
Here is the back of the dress. It has a great sweep train which is the perfect length for me. I love how the dress goes into a V shape and down the entire back is cloth buttons and swarovski rhinestones. It's everything I've ever wanted!
The Shoes
The shoes are by Nina and the style name is quentin. They come in ivory luster satin and they have a small brooch just like my dress. The shoes also have gathering in the front to match my dress as well and i think they are perfect!
The Jewelry
For my wedding day jewelry I went to the left bank, in Chicago, and ordered the earrings and bracelet which are designed by Haute Bride. The last picture is a hair barrette also made by Haute Bride that I bought from theaislenewyork.com. This is the one area that I splurged but I'm glad I did. I cant wait to wear these pieces!
Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue
Here it is all one in small piece. Since I already have all my jewelry, this is an anklet. The sterling silver anklet is the new part. The charm however is from my mother's old charm bracelet she had as a teenager. So that part is the old and borrowed. As you can see, there is a blue pendant in the middle making it my something blue. The best part is is it is a horseshoe for good luck! I couldn't be more excited about wearing this.
The Clutch
I ordered my wedding day clutch from etsy seller ItsSoClutch. She is great to work with and will make any modifications you need to make your clutch perfect. Below is a picture of the inside of the clutch with my personalized label (some info was blurred).
The Garter
My mom bought this for me and gave it to me at my bridal shower. All I know is that she got it off Etsy, but I am unsure of who the seller was. It's gorgeous :)
